U.S. 42 Star Flag Converted into a 45 Star flag.

Sub-collection: U.S. 45 Star Flags

45 Star U.S. Flag Conversion from a 42 star flag, 1896.
Conversion flags are symbolic of American ingenuity and thrift. On this flag the stars are positioned differently on each side of the star field. The added stars are very similar to the original stars, leading to the speculation that they were made by the same hand.
